a 4.3 kg object is suspended by a string from the ceiling of an elevator. the acceleration of gravity is 9.8. determine the tension of the string if it is accelerating upward at a rate of 2.1



Answer :

Qwdog

The tension of the string is due to the mass suspended at a weight of 4.3 kg is 51.57N

The mass of the object = 4.3 kg

The acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

The accelerating of the string upwards = 2.1 m/s²

The tension of the string can be found using the formula,

                  T = m(g + a)

where T is the tension of the spring

          m is the mass of the object

         g is the acceleration due to gravity

         a is the acceleration upwards.

Let us substitute the known values in the above equation, we get

                  T = 4.3 ( 9.8 + 2.1)

                     = 4.3 ( 11.9)

                     = 51.57

Therefore, the tension on the string is 51.57 N
